Template: Sticky

This is a sticky post. There are a few things to verify: The sticky post should be distinctly recognizable in some way in comparison to normal posts. You can style the .sticky class if you are using the post_class() function to generate your post classes, which is a best practice. They should show at the very top […]

So if you are still unfamiliar about what is Destiny, I have provided a link […]

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

Earlier today I took a trip to the nearby cinema, with all these summer blockbusters being released, I rather fancied a comedy title, so the choice was clear, ‘Mike and Dave need wedding dates’, I had seen a trailer for this film earlier in the year which looked promising, showing some funny and interesting clips. […]

Busy Weekend

Had a lovely surprise visit on the Friday from the other half, she kindly brought me the latest issue of the Xbox magazine which I am yet to fully read and review on this here blog and my YouTube. Sadly tonight’s plan of completing the ‘Gorod Krovi’ Easter egg challenge for zombies on Black Ops […]

Xbox Magazine

I am incredibly lucky to have a other half who is incredibly supportive and is always helping me out with creating fresh new content. So much so when I returned home from work last night she handed me the September volume of the Xbox magazine (just been released) which features content for Halo Wars 2 […]

Sound Testing

Getting the right balance with sound is possibly one of the most frustaiting things I have ever had to work out as a gamer and youtuber. So this morning before I headed to work I decided to jump on my new toy when a fellow gamer Danny (Forzawin) also jumped on. I decided to make […]

Descent DLC First Impressions

Yesterday marked the first day of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Players on the Xbox One, who hold the season pass or pre-ordered the Descent DLC, could get access to the new content. Now first off I need to say I haven’t watched any YouTube videos prior to playing, and if you own a […]

The First Blog Post!

So this first post here marks the beginning, the very start of my own personal blog! I started a demo blog using a draft site under lanky.weebly.com, however the feeling of limited features of the site, alongside how expensive the cost of using weebly to personalise a domain is, I have invested in my domain and server […]

Markup: HTML Tags and Formatting

Headings Header one Header two Header three Header four Header five Header six Blockquotes Single line blockquote: Stay hungry. Stay foolish. Multi line blockquote with a cite reference: People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to […]

Markup: Image Alignment

Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started. On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. In […]

Markup: Text Alignment

Default This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where […]

Markup: Title With Special Characters

Putting special characters in the title should have no adverse effect on the layout or functionality. Special characters in the post title have been known to cause issues with JavaScript when it is minified, especially in the admin when editing the post itself (ie. issues with metaboxes, media upload, etc.). Latin Character Tests This is […]

Sound Testing

Getting the right balance with sound is possibly one of the most frustaiting things I have ever had to work out as a gamer and youtuber.

So this morning before I headed to work I decided to jump on my new toy when a fellow gamer Danny (Forzawin) also jumped on. I decided to make the most of having an extra person online with me and tried to find the right balance between game sound and party chat for future video content. This caused a lot of frustration as each game that I tried today (Destiny, Halo and Call of Duty: Black ops 3) all require different settings, this is something I need to take into consideration. I also frequently forgot to plug my beaches mic into the laptop (this gave the other half something to laugh about). I still need to fine tune some of the settings but to give you all a rough idea here are the settings I have worked out so far…..unique to my laptop and xbox.

Destiny:

Game – 71

Commentary – 65+

Xbox – No audio setup

In Game – 18%

Halo:

Game – 71

Commentary – 65+

Xbox – No audio setup

In Game – 1/10

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3:

Game – 71

Commentary – 65+

Xbox – No audio setup

In Game – 5/10 or 50%

Stay tuned as I aim to have this all perfected in the morning which will mean more of my videos will feature some decent sound quality from both game sound and party chat, that party chat is always amusing with my team of friends.
